Achieving a Confident Smile
Dentist McKinney
At our practice, we offer essential fluoride treatments to help prevent tooth decay and strengthen teeth for patients of all ages. The American Dental Association (ADA) frequently recommends fluoride intake, especially for children between 6 months and 16 years, as this is a crucial time for the development of primary and permanent teeth.
Fluoride is carefully applied to the teeth in a varnish form using a brush. This treatment enhances the teeth’s resistance to decay-causing plaque and sugars, accelerates re-mineralization, and helps disrupt acid erosion.

DID YOU KNOW…
Fluoride treatments are not just for children. Adults can also benefit significantly from fluoride treatments, which help combat decay and strengthen tooth enamel. The fluoride used in professional dental treatments is much stronger than what is found in over-the-counter toothpaste and mouth rinses.
In addition to professional fluoride treatments at our practice, you can boost your fluoride intake through fluoridated toothpaste and mouth rinses. Over-the-counter mouth rinses contain lower strengths of fluoride, but our dentist can prescribe stronger concentrations based on your specific needs.
